rebase doesn't actually switch to another branch here, but it does
detach HEAD. To get back to a state you can work from, it's a simple
case of following the instructions rebase outputs:

1) edit conflicted files to fix the conflicts.
2) stage new versions of files (e.g. git add file.txt)
3) git rebase --continue

Here's what happens:

jast@perceptron 1% cat test.txt
<<<<<<< HEAD:test.txt
git svn rebase blows up here
=======
hello from svn
hello from git
>>>>>>> add to txt file from git:test.txt
jast@perceptron % git branch
* (no branch)
  master
jast@perceptron % vim test.txt
[...]
jast@perceptron % git add test.txt
jast@perceptron % git rebase --continue
Applying: add to txt file from git
jast@perceptron % git branch
* master
jast@perceptron %

Make sense?
